He needs larger loft separation for his 6-, 5- and 4-irons. Phil liked how the Apex MBs went through the turf, and how their spin rates were so consistent. He likes long irons that launch high which is why he originally liked the Epic Forged , so he can get the right amount of launch and spin.
His genius is in never letting self-doubt creep in. Would you like wide or narrow spaced grooves? We offer our tour staff a choice between narrow- with seven more grooves or wide-spaced face grooves. The down side is shots spin more, so the ball comes out slower from the rough than the fairway, so players either need to hit shots harder or take a longer club.
We analysed how Phil was able to spin yard flop shots back to a pin position that nobody could ever get close to at our Performance Centre. Our launch monitor revealed how he was swinging his lob wedge at mph to hit shots 15 yards! To put that into context, mph is enough to hit the driver yards.
His eye-to-hand co-ordination is like a brain surgeon; to have the face at that angle at that speed and hit the perfect spot on the face… to pull that shot off was just incredible. Phil has a lot of forward shaft lean so he hits up on the ball very nicely, the stroke and the rough face milling produce a really good roll. He has a few putters of that style, all of which have been CNC milled for him. He swings it faster than a fairway wood and he hits a controlled low fade with it that runs out to yards.
From a decent lie on the fairway he can spin the 2-wood in the mid 3,rpms which is the number most players look at for a 3-wood , so he can launch it from the turf and hit it yards into a par 5. To bridge the gap to his irons, Phil needs a 5-wood to do the job of a 3- or 4-wood. He carries a strong-lofted 4-wood that fills the gap of his previous 3-wood.

One look at his current PM Grind wedges, and it's clear the Eye 2 shaping was the original inspiration for the design Mickelson and Callaway engineers continue to refine.
Also notable on the similarities front: the style heel-shafted blade putter Mickelson has preferred throughout most of his career was present in the bag for both victories and will be in Phil's hands this week as well.
In , Mickelson gamed a custom Bettinardi blade. Driver: Callaway FT-5 Tour 8. For the best website experience, we recommend updating your browser. From an equipment standpoint, two bags more or less dominate the conversation: those of Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson. Where these two align is at the top of the bag — specifically, the driver. If you look at the profile of both drivers, each player prefers a low-launch, low-spin profile with an extremely stable shaft tip.
What this equals precisely is speed without sacrificing control. One might think Phil with his "just hit bombs" mentality would throw dispersion into the wind in exchange for flat-out firepower, but that's not the case.
